KSU Booze Cats

[jtksu]

I have the same issue with watching video on kstatehd.tv, fwiw.

While i agree that an outdoor sport would be better served if all of its participants were able to begin practice at the same time, it would be unprecedented (i believe, factCats?) for regular season competition to extend that far into the non-scholastic segment of the year.   Sure student athletes wouldn't have to contend with class any longer, but what about the things that usually busy student athletes in the summertime?  I know my company has hired members of the basketball team to work as summer interns and while Frank had a fit about them missing some voluntary workouts over the summer, they was ultimately allowed to take the position.  One of which now works for us full time.   So, in this scenario, how would a baseball player expect to explore work opportunities like his peers if hes expected to fulfill scholarship obligations all summer?   It might be an edge case, but its worth thinking about.

uh, what? They just enroll in 6 hours or more of summer classes vs going to play summer ball for the Hays Larks or Rossville Rattlers. Baseball players don't have time for internships anyway. I'd argue it has the the biggest time commitment of all the olympic college sports.

To go off what TownieCat said, yes, an argument against this would be minor league/rookie ball leagues. There are fall leagues, though.   

Super interesting points.   The summer leagues are for dudes trying to impress scouts, for one reason or another.   The Cape Cod league is the only one that still draws scouts on a large basis.   It sucks but even the NBC tournament is a ghost of what it once was.

Watching the reply of the game right now on TimeWarner (just got back from the Royals game) with Mike Clark and Smoller discussing the possibility of moving the college baseball a month to alleviate the advantage warmer weather states have (SEC, Big West, Pac12) over the states that have winter.

Things I found intriguing:
1. Big 12 coaches voted unanimously, in an informal poll, in favor for the one month push.
2. Big 10 might have more than 2 teams make the tourney. 
3. Conference games mid April-June, uh hello summer staycation you lucky townies. 
4. CWS over the 4th of July. 
5. Push for Iowa State to get baseball back???   

I think this will also help beer sells, imo.




But seriously, this would be amazing if it were to happen.

Makes sense to me.   Curious how baseball fits in with the Title IX stuff with ISU.   Seems like they're subbing baseball for wrestling and that's not going to change.   

Title IX doesn't seem like it should be a problem with regard to baseball at ISU. They have softball, gymnastics, soccer, and swimming and diving in addition to the usual womens sports; volleyball, golf, tennis, track, etc.

I know nothing about ISU sports but they seem like they would have a bunch of weird mens sports. being as iowa'y as they are.

Plus the wrestling program has got to be a money pit for them- traditions aside. 

I'm fully aware baseball doesn't make that much money, but the month back push would help the north teams with more non con home games hence sell more tickets.

What's funny is that they're not great in wrestling anymore either. The wrestling version of Fred Hoiberg, Cael Sanderson, left his alma mater for Penn State and built them into the best wrestling school in America, meanwhile ISU has toiled in mediocrity since he left.

I feel like wrestling can't be a terribly expensive sport.   How many guys are on a squad?  Like twenty?   And I doubt they're on full rides, either.

No, Sanderson worked as an assistant on the ISU staff while he was still training for international competition. Hoiberg worked in the front office for the Timberwolves. It's not the same. Sanderson is also an olympic gold medalist.

I don't even care if you were baiting me. That's not accurate.

[TownieCat]

Batcats! 

Yeah, let's get this thing back on track. Is Tech any good? We swept them last year, including a couple of dick stompings on Saturday and Sunday.

[EllRobersonisInnocent]

Yea, take this wrestling bullshit to the appropriate thread. None of us GAF.

Huskers bullpen supposedly has been owning the past 2 weeks except for when we played.  Also possibly good news but I think we've faced the 2 best pitching staffs in the big 12.

KU has one of the two best staffs in the conference?!   Weird.   

They returned their whole weekend rotation from last year.

Was the friday guy the best of the rotation?  I asked beems, but holding true to form he ran around mocking the board for ku post and got in a pissing match with daxwhile ignoring a real question.  So it remains a mystery that i dont feel like looking up.  I know Duncan absolutely owned us.

The Friday pitcher against K-State was Piche.  He's normally a closer, but he has been struggling this season, so they experimented with him at starter.  Needless to say, the experiment didn't work out so well.

[Institutional Control]

That's a unique approach to take a reliever who is struggling and make them a starter.

[PowercatPat]

We have to take at least 2 of 3 this weekend. If we don't we are mumped.

This is rough ridin' bullshit

[nicname]

5, 0, 3, 3, 2, 1, 4 Errors in each of the last 7 games. Wins in bold.

Plus top 4 hitters (Kivett, Conlon, Fisher, Santigate) are 28-120 (.233) with 4 2B, 1 HR combined over that stretch.

That's plain not going to get it done.

If it's not, it's at least serious BS.
